Pitch dark night.

On the great western plains, the clear night sky is sprinkled with endless starlight. The fires in the Indian colony were burned to the brim and glowed faintly orange.

In the dark night, around the camp of the Ming people, there stood several officers and soldiers who were on vigil, and their bright eyes swept over the wilderness outside the camp from time to time, alert to all the dangers that might arise in the night.

Ignoring the Indian maiden, the officers and soldiers walked out of the Indian gathering and into their camp.

In the eyes of the officers and soldiers, perhaps this is a characteristic custom of other people?

Daming came here to bring a new life to the people of this land, and naturally it was not good to destroy the customs and characteristics of others.

Zhu Yunwen stayed in his tent and never slept for a long time.

His ears were always on the lookout for movement.

The Indian girl had already pressed her steps very carefully, but she was still caught by Zhu Yunwen.

It's just that for a long time, there was no sound from the camp next door that should have appeared.

On the contrary, not long after, his tent was opened by Sun Cheng from the outside.

"What do you do?"

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and stared at Sun Cheng who was only wrapped in a coat in confusion.

Sun Cheng looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was full of ambiguity, with some embarrassment and anger on his face.

He dodged into Zhu Yunwen's tent and closed the curtain with his hand.

"Squeeze in tonight."

As he spoke, Sun Cheng and Zhu Yunwen lay down foot to foot.

Zhu Yunwen sat up.

"It's not like you don't have your own tent, what are you doing here!"

Sun Cheng turned sideways and said sullenly: "Can I sleep over there?" Go to sleep, I'll have to contact the people here again tomorrow, find out the situation here, and then send the news back to the sky. ”

As he spoke, Sun Cheng yawned.

But Zhu Yunwen couldn't sleep.

The fire of gossip burned in Zhu Yunwen's heart.

"That girl isn't good-looking? People took the initiative to send you a girl over, and you let the family go back like this? ”

Sun Cheng let out a low roar, and then said sullenly: "I don't know where the rules come from, it's the same as the group of Mongolians outside the gate." That girl can be my daughter, and when she got into the tent, she stripped naked and burrowed into my bed. ”

Zhu Yunwen pouted: "You're still not happy?" ”

"The girl is still in the tent, and if you like, you can go over." Sun Cheng propped his arms and looked at Zhu Yunwen with raised eyebrows.

Zhu Yunwen's face showed surprise: "The girl is still over there?" ”

After reading the sentence, he shook his head again and again.

"I won't go there, people don't drill my bed."

Sun Cheng snorted twice and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know what the customs are here, so I had to let the girl stay in the tent and sleep for a night." ”

Zhu Yunwen squeezed his eyes, only to know that Sun Cheng still has such a considerate and empathetic side.

He lay down again, stretching out an arm against the futon.

Sun Cheng is really damned, obviously he washed in the river today, and his feet still stink!

Sun Cheng blinked and looked at the top of the tent.

After a long time, Sun Chengcai spoke again: "This land is very good, except for the west from the sea, there is a distance of mountains, and here is all grassland. Once the imperial court decides to migrate the people over, this place can really become the second Jiangnan. ”

"Simply growing food is no longer the most urgent thing for us in Daming to do now."

Zhu Yunwen's voice sounded in the dim tent.

He continued: "There are many crops and minerals that are not found in the Central Plains, and those are the things that we need most. When Young Master Yuan went south to Jiaozhi Road, Shanglin Yuanjian sacrificed a lot of people to get back so many new species, so that the people of our Ming Dynasty could eat a little bit in the past few years.

We came all the way, and I saw a lot of species that were not found in the Central Plains. When the time comes, we will first get all those things back to the sky, and as for the gold and silver that are placed here, they will not run away, and when there are more people sent by the imperial court, we can hire locals to mine the veins. ”

Sun Cheng thought about it and made sure that what Zhu Yunwen said was correct.

Sun Cheng said: "We brought a lot of salt here this time, and in addition to our own food, there is a lot of surplus. Starting tomorrow, we will be able to exchange salt for plant seeds that are not available in the Central Plains with the people here. ”

A smile appeared on Zhu Yunwen's face: "That's how it should be." If it is feasible to go back, let the imperial court load the fine salt directly from the Lianghuai salt field and send it all the way to this side by sea. As long as we do it, this is a completely costless transaction. ”

There was a slight silence in the tent.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng both fell into their own imaginations.

After half a ring.

Sun Chengcai said in a low voice: "It's just that the imperial court will probably pay more attention to the new domestic policy matters after the southern and northern wars." And this place is too far away from the imperial court, will the imperial court make great efforts to deal with this side of the matter? ”

After all, the New World is too far away from the Ming Dynasty.

They walked for almost a year just to get here.

If the imperial court developed the New World on a large scale, it would be possible to use horse teams to transport goods and personnel, but the journey would take about half a year.

As for the sea route, it will have to wait for the imperial court to figure out the sea road before it can be determined that the time taken between the two places will be met.

Boom.

Just when Sun Cheng thought that Zhu Yunwen was also worried about this issue.

But he heard a muffled sound in front of him.

Then Sun Cheng fixed his eyes and saw that in the dim tent, there was a thick notebook lying in front of his eyes.

Sun Cheng opened the notebook, and he could vaguely see that there were a lot of words written on it, and there would be some undistinguishable animal and plant graphics on a few pages.

Just when Sun Cheng was puzzled.

Zhu Yunwen's voice had already sounded: "Since we crossed that frozen strait, I have begun to record what I see along the way. Of course, some parts are exaggerated, but I believe that as long as this content is sent to heaven, no one in the Manchu dynasty will oppose the development of this new continent. ”

Scold.

Ooh.

In the tent, Sun Cheng touched the fire fold and opened it to ignite it.

He held the fire fold in one hand and flipped through the notebook thrown by Zhu Yunwen with the other.

The whole book has been used up for the most part.,It's full of text descriptions of this new world.,And a pattern depiction.。

He didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to do so many things, but he didn't know it at all.

It's just that soon, Sun Cheng sighed lightly: "Send it back now, it will take at least more than a year to come and go." ”

Zhu Yunwen laughed: "Actually, when I went to Yingtian to deliver the letter, I copied a copy of what I wrote at that time and asked people to send it to Yingtian together." Come to think of it, it won't be long before Ying Tian will get the content I recorded. ”

Swish.

Sun Cheng sat up suddenly.

Zhu Yunwen never told himself about this matter from beginning to end.

He was a little surprised that the other party had already begun to ask the imperial court to vigorously develop the New World in this form.

Zhu Yunwen also sat up and spread his hands towards Sun Cheng.

"Don't get me wrong, I just hope that the imperial court will know the true situation here as soon as possible. Once the imperial court knows about the situation, it will definitely send someone over, so let's go back as soon as possible, right? ”

Sun Cheng observed Zhu Yunwen seriously for a long time, and then sighed.

He didn't see Zhu Yunwen's desire to stay in this new continent, and it was exactly as he said that he really wanted to go back.

Sun Cheng lay down again, but asked in his mouth: "Do you want to go back the way you came, or take a boat back?" ”

"Naturally, I want to take a boat back, and I have to see how big this sea is."

"Then I'll take the boat back with you."

"Let's go to sleep first, maybe tomorrow the girl will say that she is pregnant with your child."

"You! Ridiculous! ”

……

Ying Tian Cheng.

It has come to the late autumn season, there are a few persimmon trees in the palace, the leaves are yellow and have fallen a lot, and the golden persimmons on the branches are heavy, bending the branches.

"Sheng'er, call Grandpa Twenty-Three."

"Sheng'er, will Grandpa Twenty-Three take you to climb a tree?"

Behind the East Palace, there was the shout of Xiao Twenty-three Zhu Huan.

I saw him climbing on a persimmon tree, shouting at the small ball of meat on the grass under the tree.

Not far away, several women sat under the pavilion.

It is the female dependents of the Taisun Mansion and the inner house of Zhu Gaochi's family, as well as several mothers in the harem.

Qiu Niang also sat in the middle, but kept her head down, and was occasionally attracted by the shouts of Xiao Twenty-three on the persimmon tree.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi each crossed their arms and stood on the grass, keeping an eye out for their little twenty-third uncle, who had already climbed the tree, not to fall.

"Aba! Aba! ”

The little ball of meat crawled happily on the grass, as if he really wanted to climb the persimmon tree like his twenty-third grandfather.

Zhu Huan has grown up a lot now, but he is more naughty than before.

The ladies in the palace can't control him anymore, and the old man is too lazy to care about him now.

So it became more and more lawless.

Fortunately, occasionally the prince's brother disciplined Zhu Huan, so he didn't let him overturn the imperial city.

Zhu Huan on the tree looked at the small meat ball under the tree a little anxiously, and felt that this little grandson was too wasteful.

"Little meat ball, you're really stupid, hurry up and crawl."

As he spoke, Zhu Huan had already picked a red persimmon.

"Little meatball, do you want to eat it?"

"Hurry up and shout Grandpa Twenty-three, I'll come down and feed you."

The little ball of meat crawled on the ground, tilting its head, with a smile on its face, and saliva couldn't stop from the corners of its mouth.

"Abba Aba! (I want to eat)"

"Aba, Aba, Aba! (Give it to me)"

Zhu Huan hugged the branch and didn't let go, and shook the persimmon in his hand: "You shout, shout, I'll give you food." ”

"Aba! (Badass)"

Seeing that the little meat ball had already frowned, Zhu Huan on the tree laughed.

Not far away, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi, who were standing together, ignored this.

It's better for children to be wild.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at it twice, and was sure that the twenty-third uncle would not climb up again, so he put his mind at ease and turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi sideways: "Zhili Dao 18 Mansion, more than half of the officials have bowed their heads. wrote a plea and handed it over to Zou Xueyu. There are also some people who think that as long as the set recovery of commercial taxes is completed, the imperial court may open up to them and take no action. ”

"The autumn exams are about to start, right?"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly asked.

The autumn examination, that is, the latest examination system set by the imperial court, takes the world's talents as officials twice a year. One spring examination, one autumn examination, the selection of the imperial court and local officials.

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "The exam will start at the beginning of next month." ”

Zhu Yunxi hummed: "At the beginning of the autumn examination, I will first clean up the officials of the 18 government offices of Zhili Dao. Some of them were replaced by meritorious soldiers of the previous Northern Expedition, and some of them were sent over after the end of the autumn examination. ”

"That official of the Eighteen Prefectures of Zhili Dao?"

"Let the cabinet, the ministry, and the three law divisions decide."

Zhu Yunxi said casually.

Under the Hongwu New Deal, officials inside and outside the court were already destined to undergo a major blood change.

It's just a matter of time.

Unless it is those who have great talents, are loyal to the court, and are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they will be replaced by newcomers.

Why have most of the innovations throughout the ages ended in failure?

There are many reasons, and one of them is that the local government has not been renewed.

In the imperial court, the new policy was formulated in a flawless manner, but the people below have not changed, and if things are explained, they will always become the same.

How to implement the new policy when the soup is changed but not the medicine?

The Ming Dynasty has been unifying the thinking of the imperial court for the past few years, and now it is time to change the blood of the local government.

Those who are capable stay in their positions and wait for the inspection, continue to do it after the inspection, and do what they should do if they do not pass the inspection.

As for those who can't do it, they can now invite themselves back to their hometowns.

Everybody can keep some decency for each other.

Zhu Gaochi noticed the change in direction of Zhu Yunxi's new policy and wrote it down.

Distance.

Yutian, the head of Taisun Mansion, trotted over and walked behind Zhu Yunxi.

"Your Highness, there is news from outside, it was sent back by those who went to find the New World."

Zhu Yunxi turned around and looked at Yutian with his head down.

Beside him, Zhu Gaochi also looked at the head of the Taisun Mansion with curiosity.

"Where is the message now?"

Yutian said in a low voice: "On the cabinet side, now several cabinet elders are reviewing the news coming back from there. The slave and maid listened to a few sentences roughly, and it seemed that many things were recorded in writing, and it would take a lot of time to read them. ”

Zhu Yunxi silently glanced at Zhu Gaochi.

He didn't expect the news from there to come back so quickly.

Because of the difference in cognition, Zhu Yunxi knew that there was a new continent on the other side. From beginning to end, the only thing he was worried about was whether Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng could find the New World.

Now, it seems, they really have found it.

Zhu Yunxi immediately turned his head again and looked at Zhu Huan on the persimmon tree: "Twenty-third uncle, if you don't come down again, you won't want to leave the palace again this year!" ”

Stab a bit.

Zhu Huan slid down from the persimmon tree, stood obediently under the tree, and quietly handed the persimmon in his hand to the little meat ball hand who stretched out his hand to him.

Zhu Yunxi said again: "After taking a good look at the little meat ball, Brother Chi and I will go to the front to discuss some things with the elders." ”

Zhu Huan showed a smile on his face, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, just leave the little meat ball to me!" ”

Poof.

Holding the small ball of meat of the persimmon, one force, the whole face is buried in the persimmon.

Zhu Yunxi looked at it for a while, but he still left it behind and glanced at Yutian.

The three of them had already rushed to the cabinet.
